well let me try :) i could do the exact same video but end it with something like 'this person went on to become one of the biggest homicidal dictators of the twentieth century' -- and voila! the same ad becomes completely pro-abortion (not pro choice necessarily in this case - but pro abortion)... which all to me makes clear how silly the fetus to adult human being connection is in these kinds of ads (and thinking that is standard fare for anti-choicers)
i'm going to go on :)... and of course it makes the assumption that abortion of a fetus is about a future person and what they may be like (whether for good or bad).. but of course abortion is rarely about the fetus.. it's about the maternal body/mother/woman (sometimes parents) and their current circumstances of all kinds
(fascinatingly the word verification i have to type for this post is 'equal' :) karmic...)

wow....that's pretty powerful, and sneaky. I think a lot of pro-choice activists would have a hard time arguing with that one. Dammit!
